My great great grandfather (above)The Father Of The NC Bar, words below.

"Holden's
impeachment is demanded by a sense of public virtue and due regard to
the honor of the state. He is an exceedingly corrupt man and ought to
be placed before the people as a public example of a tyrant condemned
and punished."

The victorious North installed a native proconsul in 1865 to rule North Carolina, who acceded to the various constitutional fictions emanating from the radical Northern Congress. That proconsul acted as if no military overthrow of free government had taken place in his own State, and committed treason by adhering to the enemy. North Carolina and the South were ruled by “Vichy” regimes emanating from Washington, as France later be ruled from Berlin.

Vichy Rule in North Carolina

“In obedience to the proclamation of Provisional *Governor [William] Holden, the State Convention met at noon on Monday, the 2nd instant [2 October 1865]. The permanent President is Honorable E.G. Reade, of Person County. He is regarded as one of the best jurists in the State, was a Whig and an opponent of secession and State rights, and is now provisional judge of the eighth circuit by appointment of the Governor.

The Governor’s message came in on the second day. He takes it for granted that the Convention will recognize the abolition of slavery, provide that it shall not be re-established, and submit the amended Constitution to a vote of the people. [Governor Holden stated:]

“North Carolina attempted, in May 1861, to separate herself from the Federal Union. This attempt involved her, with other slaveholding States, in a protracted and disastrous war, the result of which was a vast expenditure of blood and treasure on her part, and the practical abolition of domestic slavery. She entered the Rebellion a slaveholding State, and emerged from it a non-slaveholding State. In other respects, so far as her existence as a State and her rights as a State are concerned, she has undergone no change.

Allow me to congratulate you, gentlemen, upon the favorable circumstances which surround you, while engaged in this great work of restoring the State to her former and natural position. It is my firm belief that the policy of the President in this respect, which is broad, as liberal, and as just as the Constitution itself, will be approved by the great body of the people of the United States . . . our State will enjoy, in common with the other States, the protection of just laws under the Constitution of our fathers.”

(The South Since the War: As Shown by Fourteen Weeks of Travel and Observation in Georgia and the Carolinas, Sidney Andrews, Ticknor and Fields, 1866, pp. 133-134)

What Robert E. Lee advises against below has its modern counterpart in movies, television dramas and other fictitious ramblings of a writer’s active mind. Today’s soap opera in many languages feature those usually wealthy and with no visible means of support, forever seeking love and in perpetual personal crisis. Lee warned his children against sigh[ing] after that which has no reality.”

Lee Instructs His Children

“This was the Victorian age, when a young woman was supposed to be reading something spiritually-uplifting or domestically self-improving. In fact, most educated young women with some time on their hands were likely to be doing just what Mildred [Lee] was, although in her case she was risking her father’s strong disapproval.

Six years before, when she was thirteen, her father had written her from the stark Texas plains: “Read history and works of truth — not novels and romances. It was not a new thought with him; worrying about [son] Rooney, he had, years before that, written [his wife] Mary: “Let him never touch a novel. They print beauty more charming than nature, and describe happiness that never exists. They will teach him to sigh after that which has no reality, to despise the little good that is granted us in the world and to expect more than is given.”

Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin: The SPLC is “probably next to the Muslim Brotherhood the most evil group in America.”

Why is the FBI missing the extremists in our midst? Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the
organization consulted by the Department of Justice for information on
extremists is in bed with them.

Evelyn Schlatter, the deputy director of research of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), was listed as a participant
in the recent Left Forum conference, which featured an assortment of
communists, 9/11 truthers, pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel activists,
and other extremists. Schlatter was described as an expert on
“right-wing political and social movements, gender, and sexuality.”

Schlatter should have some knowledge of left-wing political
movements, especially since she rubbed elbows with some of their
followers at the conference. Indeed, these far-left extremists are
allies of the SPLC, which works directly with and advises the Obama
Justice Department on hate groups and extremism. The FBI is under the
jurisdiction of the Justice Department.

CBS News is now pushing the pro-Hillary Clinton polls in rapid fashion. Late on Wednesday, this media outlet released the results of a national poll claiming to show that Clinton holds a 6% advantage over Donald Trump in the direct head-to-head matchup.

Apparently, the poll "was conducted by telephone June 9-13, 2016 among a random sample of 1,280 adults nationwide, including 1,048 registered voters[.] ... The data have been weighted to reflect U.S. Census figures on demographic variables."

However, based on the polling details, the final weighted sample of 976 registered voters is made up of just 28% Republicans and 35% Democrats.

In the unweighted sample of registered voters, the relative percentage by party was 29% Republicans and 35% Democrats.

So, during the weighting process, the poll increased the Democrat-Republican spread from 6% to 7%. This relative weighting should have been headed in the other direction.

Frank Gaffney, founder of the Center for Security Policy,
responded to President Obama and Hillary Clinton’s complaints about
being forced to use the phrase “radical Islam” on Wednesday morning’s
Breitbart News Daily with SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon.

Gaffney said that for all of Obama
and Clinton’s efforts to minimize the importance of using the correct
terminology for the enemy we face, the bigger problem is that “they
don’t want to go anywhere near the underlying reality, which is that
inherent in the sort of DNA of Islam, its adherence called sharia, is the root of this problem.”

“It’s the root of the problem with
respect to killing homosexuals, it’s the root of the problem with
respect to oppressing women, it’s the root of the problem with respect
to genocide against Christians, killing Jews wherever they can, and
apostates, on and on,” Gaffney said.

“And that is this idea that a brutally repressive, totalitarian doctrine has to rule the whole world, and jihad – which is another term
they don’t want to use, and in fact they’ve got a new report out of
their advisory group at the Department of Homeland Security that says,
you know, you can’t use words like ‘sharia.’ You can’t use words like ‘jihad.’ You gotta focus on those ‘right-wing violent extremists. They’re the real problem,” he said.

The post-jihad denial that we see in the wake of every Islamic
attack since 9/11 has made possible the wild successes of Islamic groups
that are waging jihad in the cause of Islam.

After every jihad terror attack, Islamic supremacists and their paid
shills in the media unleash relentless, vicious attacks upon those of us
who oppose jihad. Never do we hear or see them go after the Islamic
texts and teachings that fuel this war.

Robbie Abell, owner of a Florida gun shop, says he alerted
authorities that a suspicious man had come in asking about body armor.
Five weeks later, Omar Mateen – equipped with weapons he bought at a
different shop after Abell’s employees refused to sell to him – killed
49 people and injured as many at Pulse night club in Orlando.

The Wall Street Journal quotes
Abell as telling them that his store, Lotus Gunworks of South Florida,
“shut him down on all sales” after be began asking bizarre questions
about body armor and bulk ammunition. “The questions he was asking were
not the normal questions a normal person would be asking… He just seemed
very odd,” Abell said. The armor Mateen asked about is not
traditionally available to civilians.

A chief critic of President Obama's open door immigration
policies on Thursday slammed him as a "dictator" who is filling rural
towns with illegal immigrants instead of turning them away at the border
and telling them to enter legally.

Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions said that the administration's plan to ship some 2,000 illegals to his state
has been met with the same outrage as other efforts to take
undocumented immigrants seized in Texas and Arizona and house them as
far away as Massachusetts.

"They feel like this is a dictator from Washington who will not
listen to the people's concerns and they are very concerned about it,"
Sessions told Secrets after a speech to the Security Industry Association in downtown Washington.

"It's just maddening," he added. Sessions said that the
administration is eyeing military bases that don't even have housing as
the destination for the illegals.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch overruled FBI Director James B. Comey on
Thursday, saying the Obama administration does support denying firearms
sales to those on terrorist watch lists and that it can be done without
harming investigations.

Orlando? So what else is new? Why the
excitement? I am puzzled that everyone is distraught over a perfectly
ordinary act of terrorism by a perfectly ordinary Muslim terrorist. We
have seen these attacks before and will see them again. They grow
monotonous, like car crashes. They are as interesting as a commercial
break.

Why the surprise? We know Muslims
kill Christians. We know they stone adulteresses to death. We know they
drive airplanes into buildings. We know they mutilate women. We know
they bomb airliners. We know they destroy historic monuments. We know
they kill their daughters for losing their virginity. We know they kill
homosexuals. We know they make coordinated mass attacks on cities. We
know they are incompatible with societies of the First World. We know
they have no respect for our laws. We know they hate us.

Knowing all of this, what do we do? Why…of course! What else? We import more of them. Nothing could make more sense.

The ISIS Caliphate is using online fealty as a way to recruit jihadis
around the world. It's a powerful recasting of an ancient concept
that goes well beyond modern expressions of loyalty.

The way ISIS has constructed its brand of online fealty makes it
globally scalable. The only barriers to entry are: conduct an attack
and publicly pledge fealty. The most common platforms for a public
pledge? Social media, 911, etc.

For example, when Omar Mateen pledged fealty to ISIS during his deadly attack, it provided him with the following:

Watching old boxing matches on DVDs tells us something about some of the ways in which American society has changed.

The first thing I noticed about the boxers back in the era of Joe
Louis, from the 1930s into the 1950s, is that they all wore regulation
boxing trunks and they didn't have tattoos. There was no trying to outdo
each other with garish boxing trunks or wild tattoos. They didn't try
to stare each other down when the referee was giving them instructions
before the fight.

Seldom did any of these boxers go in for showboating during the
fight. There was no denigrating the other fighter, either before or
after the fight.

University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Professor Jack Stauder
says his political and ideological conversion away from socialism and
Marxism occurred when he actually witnessed these systems in action.

After traveling to more than 110 countries to pursue various forms of
research, notably cultural anthropology, Stauder described his
conversion from Marxism as a process of disillusionment.
“I gradually became disenchanted with Marxism by visiting many of the
countries that had tried to shape their societies to conform to its
doctrines. I was disillusioned by the realities I saw in … socialist
countries – the USSR, Eastern Europe, China, Cuba, etc,” Stauder told The College Fix via email.

“I came to recognize that socialism doesn’t work, and that its
‘revolutionary’ imposition inevitably leads to cruelty, injustice and
the loss of freedom,” the professor continued.

Remembrance

Execution of Colonel Ho Ngoc CanLast words: "If I won the war, I would not condemn you as you have condemned me.I would not humiliate you as you have humiliated me.I would not ask you questions that you asked me.I fought for the freedom of my people.I have merit and I am not guilty.No one can convict me.History will criticize you as my Communist enemy.You want to kill me, then kill me.Do not blindfold me.Down with the Communists.Long live the Republic of Viet Nam !"

Colonel CraigMandeville:

“They wanted the people to see that he was dead,” said Craig Mandeville, an American adviser to the South Vietnamese army who fought side by side with Can. “He was believed to be some sort of invincible guy. The North Vietnamese thought that, too, and I even thought that when I fought with him.”

“He said, ‘OK, the country’s fallen, but by God we’re still South Vietnamese and we’re free,’ ” Mandeville recalled. “So he went down to Chuong Tien province and rounded up all these soldiers down there to form a Free Vietnam.”

Col. Can didn’t live long after that, but the legacy of his struggle lives on.

My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

Great Grandfather Koonce

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.
